Mr Ishmael Bluejack, a Port Harcourt-based lawyer, on Friday commended the nation’s judiciary, saying Nigerians were still accessing justice inspite of the current challenges.
Bluejack, who spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Port Harcourt, was reacting to the outcome of the judgment in the Jaja Estate suit in which his client, Charles Jaja, emerged victorious.
The legal practitioner, who represented the younger Jaja, the claimant in the suit– Mr Charles Jaja vs Mrs Baebel and others, said his client got justice on Wednesday inspite of the length of time to conclude the case.
Bluejack, who commended the court presided over by Justice Silver Iragunema for granting all the reliefs sought by his client, maintained that the judiciary remained the last hope of the common man.
NAN recalls that the claimant, who was the first son of late Joseph Jaja had gone to court to enforce his inclusion in the administration of his father’s estate.
The claimant had told the court that the respondent and her children had administered her husband’s estate without involving him.
NAN recalls that the late Jaja had died in Germany on Nov. 18, 2009. (NAN)
